The intersection-cohomology ring conjecture for nonabelian hypertoric quotients

At least 18 years old · documented by

Let GG be a group with maximal torus TT and Weyl group WW, and let Mα,0(G)\mathfrak{M}_{\alpha,0}(G) and Mα,0(T)\mathfrak{M}_{\alpha,0}(T) be the corresponding symplectic quotients. Assume that these spaces are smooth for generic (α,0)(\alpha,0). Let IC(M0,0(G))\mathbf{IC}(\mathfrak{M}_{0,0}(G)) denote the intersection cohomology sheaf, let I ⁣H∗I\!H^* denote intersection cohomology, and let e0e_0 be the product of the roots as above. The intersection-cohomology ring conjecture. Suppose that Mα,0(G)\mathfrak{M}_{\alpha,0}(G) and Mα,0(T)\mathfrak{M}_{\alpha,0}(T) are smooth for generic (α,0)(\alpha,0). Then the intersection cohomology sheaf IC(M0,0(G))\mathbf{IC}(\mathfrak{M}_{0,0}(G)) admits canonically the structure of a ring object in the bounded derived category of M0,0(G)\mathfrak{M}_{0,0}(G), and there is a natural ring isomorphism

I ⁣H∗(M0,0(G))≅I ⁣H∗(M0,0(T))W/Ann⁡(e0).I\!H^*(\mathfrak{M}_{0,0}(G))\cong I\!H^*(\mathfrak{M}_{0,0}(T))^W\big/\operatorname{Ann}(e_0).

This conjecture combines the preceding nonequivariant abelianization conjecture with the source's intersection-cohomology ring theorem, aiming to equip the intersection cohomology of the singular nonabelian quotient with a canonical ring structure.
